im placeing order end of this month for sept build

Since the '03 build to the new '05 build you'll have a complete new and different gearbox. It feels quite different to the old box too, more like a cross between the current MINI One box and the Cooper S box. I assume you've seen the new bumper and other changes (inside and out) detailed in the news section (www.mini2.com/news) apart from those, it's still much the same car, but (should be) better built.

I'm hoping it's better built. Although I haven't had any problems with my car, i have read about alot on here.
What did you make of the new gear box then Paul?
Have you tried it in a standard cooper or just in the convertible so far?

Just in some Convertbles, but I like it. Then again, I much prefer the S box to the Cooper/One box anyway, and I know several people don't agree on that one! It's a cross between the two really.
